Xinhua: Climate change is one of the greatest barriers to sustainable development for small island countries, a Fijian official said Wednesday. Esala Nayasi, director of the political and treaties division of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said the adverse effects of climate change is a security threat to Pacific island countries ( PICs) as it greatly affects the survival of people through the impact it has on resources.

Hurricane enable: How climate change is mixing up bigger, badder storms

Grist: Buy your Hurricanes at the Hard Rock Café, and you can probably make it through a third before youve dimmed enough to believe the Republican talking points on climate change. But by the time you get to The Marigny, theyre making those things with three kinds of rum, a half-gallon of rocket fuel, and the soul of an angry leprechaun. Most climate models predict the same thing with storms: The more we stray from the climate norm, the stronger the hurricanes become. Which makes a lot of sense when...

Having spent time analysing the parties' climate change policies for the University of Melbourne's Election Watch, I'm disappointed that yet another speech by Greg Hunt, the shadow minister for climate action, failed to answer key questions about the Coalition's climate policy. As it stands, the Direct Action Plan falls short...

Huffington Post: The Senate's most prominent climate change skeptic, Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-Okla.), called in to Mike Huckabee's radio show on Monday to discuss conspiracy theories on global warming and the Obama administration's plans to deal with it. In the segment, both Inhofe and Huckabee accuse the Obama administration and Organizing for Action -- the nonprofit created out of the Obama campaign to stump for the president's agenda -- of violating federal law in their push to combat climate change. Inhofe has called...
